Elotex's new anti-efflorescence additive

Elotex, a business unit of National Starch and Chemical Co., has introduced Elotex ERA100, a redispersible powder additive designed to eliminate primary efflorescence in stuccos, tile grouts, skim-coats, cement powder paints and other cement-based mortar systems.

Elotex ERA100 is a highly active, resin-based anti-efflorescence compound that is compatible with other additives and has no detrimental effects on working properties. When cured, Elotex ERA100 drastically reduces the occurrence of primary efflorescence while increasing water repellency.
